Ethics & Compliance Manager

Philcare Pharma, Inc. (PPI) now in its 15th year of operation is an established mid-size pharmaceutical company with nationwide operations, expanding aggressively in niche, hospital-based critical care solutions. We bring to the Philippine market specialty medicines and devices in critical care, cardiovascular, anti-infectives, anesthesia and pain, and advanced wound care — therapies chosen because they address unmet clinical needs and because few others can supply them.

This is a newly created position with a direct line to the General Manager and standing access to the Board on compliance matters. You will own two mandates as one integrated Ethics & Compliance function: Employee Compliance (Code of Progressive Discipline, disciplinary due process, Employee Relations Committee) and PRCM — Promotions, Regulatory & Compliance Management (PHAP Code of Practice, FDA-PH, PDEA/DDB, Data Privacy).

• Enforcement of the Philcare Employee Code of Progressive Discipline, including due process coaching for supervisors and secretariat role on the Employee Relations Committee (ERC)
  
• The Company's inhouse compliance program— HCP interactions, gifts and hospitality, sponsorships, congresses, speaker programs, and promotional materials review
  
• Field audits of medical representatives, key account specialists, and district managers for call-report integrity, sample handling, and PHAP adherence
  
• Regulatory compliance under FDA-PH Good Distribution Practices, PDEA S2 and DDB rules for controlled substances, and Data Privacy Act (R.A. 10173) requirements
  
• The Company's Speak-Up / Whistleblower channel and investigation function — intake, investigation, resolution, and non-retaliation oversight
  
• Compliance training and awareness for the entire organization; onboarding compliance module for new hires
  
  

Requirements

• 10+ years in Ethics & Compliance, HR/Employee Relations, or Regulatory Affairs, ideally in a Philippine pharmaceutical, medical device, or healthcare organization; 3+ years in a compliance leadership role
  
• Deep in both mandates — Employee Compliance (Labor Code Art. 297, DOLE D.O. 147-15, twin-notice due process) and PRCM (PHAP Code, IFPMA Code, FDA-PH GDP, PDEA/DDB rules, R.A. 10173, R.A. 3019, R.A. 8203, R.A. 9502)
  
• A writer capable of drafting NTEs, NOCs, investigation reports, and audit findings that hold up in front of the NLRC and the FDA-PH
  
• An investigator, comfortable interviewing witnesses, evaluating evidence, and reaching evidence-based conclusions
  
• Personally courageous — the value of a Compliance leader is the difficult conversation, not the easy one
  
• A licensed Pharmacist, Attorney (Juris Doctor), or holder of an equivalent bachelor's degree with strong compliance credentials
  

Strong pluses: SEC-recognised Compliance Officer certification, CHRP, CIA, or equivalent; prior Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI) experience; hospital-channel background in cardiovascular, critical care, or anti-infectives; direct experience hosting an FDA-PH, PDEA, or NPC inspection; PMAP or PHAP membership.
